Day 86: Plateau

Couple things today.

First off, I'm going to be missing my next monthly result update because I'm going to be out of town at the Nateva Music Festival (check Stuff That I Like for a full report when I return).

Secondly, I do believe I'm starting to plateau.  This means that my body is getting too used to my workout routine, so it's not really improving.  Normally, this would mean I should move up my weight, but the dilemma with plateauing is that because you're not really getting stronger, you can't move up in weight without a degree of difficulty.  Still, it seems like that's the only way to get out of this rut.  Any tips?

Lastly, how do you increase the intensity of your workout for things that only use body weight (crunches, tricep dips, etc.)?  Do you just increase the reps?  That's what I've been doing, but it doesn't seem to be helping all that much. 

Alrighty, that's all for now.  Probably won't update for another week or so.  See you then!
